There are two things I needed to do to fix things: 1. Bumblebee refused to start. It gave the error "Could not find module 'nouveau'". The Driver='nouveau' had to be changed to Driver=nouveau (so without the quotes) in /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf 2. For the power management to work, I needed to update the kernel to 3.1.9-2-ARCH. It did NOT work for 3.1.9-1-ARCH. Even after installing the latest kernel, bbswitch-git couldn't be started for me. Reinstalling bbswitch-git solved the problem for me.

Right, that was the problem. When I changed from bumblebee to bumblebee-git, the group was deleted and then created again (I think) and my user was not added automatically. Thanks.

pernix, sounds like you are not in the bumblebee group.

Hi! Using this package I receive this error each time I try to start optirun: [ERROR]Could not connect to /var/run/bumblebee.socket! Error: Permission denied [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running? [WARN]The Bumblebee server was not available. etc... If I run it as superuser the error is: No protocol specified Error: couldn't open display :0 Daemon bumblebeed is running.

I feel flattered on that comparison. Maybe I can think of it. Is not my decision to make but yours. Is enough that this piece of hacky software is useful for you, we have accomplished our goal :)

If we think about it like that though then most things are workarounds and hacks (X itself being pretty much one of those). We could easily pull in turbojpeg and virtualgl. That wouldn't be a problem. Anyway, I'll let it rest in AUR for now. You seem to be taking good care of it.

Samsagax commented on 2012-01-14 05:44 (UTC)

The problem with that is it's dependencies right now: VirtualGL won't go into [community] because of it's dependency on 'turbojpeg', that library is intentionally removed from the official package because "it's not versioned". I don't really care about Bumblebee getting into official repositories, I just want to use my card in the distro I love :). Btw: Bumblebee is not the ultimate solution to the Optimus problem. Is a temporary workaround until David Arlie finishes his magic on Xorg and Nvidia eventually stop it's negligence on us (or Nouveau devs come on with the real solution). We, (and I mean Peter) are trying to help on official support while we improve the workaround.

svenstaro commented on 2012-01-14 05:34 (UTC)

In that case, would you like to eventually see stable bumblebee releases in [community]? It seems to me the project is at a point where official support would make sense and it works rather well for me.
